The Art of Appearing Well.

There is nothing upon which wom-
an expends more thought, time and ex-
penses than in her endeavor to appear
we'll in public. There is nothing more
attractive in the world than healthy
glow of cheek, we'll rounded form and
an elastic step in q woman. Orna-
ments and decorations look out of
place on a person of pale face, fragile
form and languid movement. These
things may cover some defects, but
there is an absence Of 1.-THE eternal fit

of ladies whose lives are ebbing slowly
away, and leaving them wrecks of
their former Selves" who might be
saved from this "living death" by the
use of that inyigorating tonic, Swifts
Specific. There are number of the
finest looking ladies in Atlanta to-day
who a few years ago were perfect phys
ical wrecks, but whose health has been
restored by this wonC erful remedy. No
one who looks upon their magnificent
forms and cheerful countenances to-day
would suspicion that these were the
parties who a few months ago were
praying to die; but it is so. They are
ready to admit that Swift's Specific
saved their lives and saved them from
untold sufferings. One of them re-
markrd recently that"if it had not been

He has Apples, Pears, Peaches, Cherries,
Plums, Strawberry Plants, etc., of every

reputation. The trees grown in this climate
are certainly better suited to this section

Frank Leslie's Popular MONTH
Nv For October.

Considering how frequently natives
of this country haye distinguished
themselves in military and naval af-
fairs in other lands, it is a wonder
that no one has yet undertaken to
treat so romantic theme, Colonel
Chaille-Long, who has just gone as
out envoy to open Corea, himself one
who has showed ability in other lands
has done wisely in making "The
American Soldier Abroad" the sub
ject OF an article in the October num-
Der OF Frank Leslie's Popular Month
ly. He begins with General Eaton,
whose exploits in Tipoil are now al
most forgotten and comes down to
Walker in Nicarauga, Ward and Bur
gevine in China. THE Man Outside
verges on a dramatic denouement /;
while the minor stories, poetry, and
illustrations, make it a charming
number.

On the 18th day of August 1887
Mrs. Martha ]. Hyder died of heart
disease at her home on Powder
Branch in county. The deceas-
ed was born Aug. 22d 1928, and was
therefore in her 59th year. She was
a sister Of Col. w. D. Haynes and
tirst-cousin to the lamented Landon
G. Haynes. She leaves a husband,
Mr.. John w. Hyder, and family of
six sons, and many relatives and
friends 10 mourn her loss. Mrs. Hy-

With her religion was not a thing of a
day, but an immortal and changeless
principle. She exemplified it in her
daily life but always modestly, with
out ostentation. Her life was like a
perpetual flower, ever exhaling sweet
perfumes, blooming but to bless and
cheer She impressed her sons with
the transendent Importance of lead
ing, sober, honest, industrious, and
above all pious lives; and now leaves
to them a heritage for richer than
worldly wealth,-an example of the
noblest christian virtues illustrated in
lifelong practice beautifully applied
to all the affairs of every day existence
and moral precepts which, if needed,
will lead not only in the way of tenn
poral prosperity and honors, but in
the way Of eternal salvation.
To husband, to son, to kindred, and
friends, her loss in irreparable; but
let us be consoled with the blessed
reflection that her departure from us
was but the transportation of a fade
less flower into the blissful garden OF
eternal life to those who live in Christ

yield
Immortal fruit in more glorious field

TriPIets A A1Iord AN ssExceptiOn-

the President.

Mr. Cleveland among his other good
qualities, has very keen sense of hui
NOR. He can write an interesting let.
ter to Congress on some grave ma
tional,topic and very scathing let,
ter on the manner in which the press
OF the country takes liberties with his
administration but it is an agreeable
surprise to the country that he can
also write a congratula tory letter
to the happy father of triplets and
make it pungent with a dash of sly
fun.
Mr.. Cleveland has been informed
that in Perry county, Pa, the census
list of the Republic has been increas.
ed by the sudden advent OF "three of a
kind" The ecstatic parent declares
that the two boys shall benamld Grover
and Cleveland respectively, a4r She girl
shall be christened Frances. This is
a most graceful acknowledgment on
the part OF an American citizen of the
popularity of the President. He may
congratulate himself that here are
three little straws which show how
the wind blows.
In Mr.. Cleveland's letter of thanks
for the honor paid him he remarks
81 have quite a number of namesakes
whose parents have been good enough
to make manifest in this way their
friendly feeling" and then adds, with
a sense of the humorous as keen as a

The President Rises to the Oc-
casiOm.

Mr.. Cleveland has frequently been
very happy in his way of putting
things.
But it may be safely asserted that
he never made formal speech which
was happier than that delivered in
Philadelphia last week in the open air.
The closing sentences are con-
spicuously admirable -
AS we look down the century to the
origin Of our constitution, as we con-
template its trials and its triumphs,
as we realize how completely the
principles upon which tits based have
met every national peril and every
national need, how devoutly should
we confess, with Franklin, "God gov
erns in the affairs of men," and how
solemn should be the reflection that
to our hands is committed this ark
Of the peoples covenant, and that
ours is the duty to shield it from inn
pious hands. We receive it sealed
with the tests of a century. 1t has
been found sufficient in the past; and
in all the future years it will be found
sufficient if the American people are
true to their sacred trust.
Another centen nial day will come
and millions yet unborn will inquire
concerning our stewardship and the
safety of their constitution. God
grant that they may find it unimpair
ed and as we rejoice in the patriot
ism and devotion Of those who lived
a hundred years ago, so may Others
who follow us rejoice in our fidelity
in our jealous love for constitutions
liberty,

If he had known that when her proud, fair face
Turned from him cold and slow
Beneath its cloud Indifference had place
A passionate, deep woe.
If he had known that when her hand lay still,
PulselesS so near his own,
TWAS because pains bitter, bitter chill
Changed her to very stone.
II he had known that she had borne so much
For sake of the sweet past,
That mere despair said, "This cold look and
touch
Must be the cruel last
II he had known her eyes 50 cold and bright,
Watching the sunsets red,
Held back within their deeps of purple light
storm OF tears unshed.
Ifhe had known the keenly y-barbed jest,
With such hard lightness thrown,
Cut through the hot proud heart within her
breast
Before 1t pierced his own,
Ifshe had known that when her calm glance
swept
Him as she passed him by
His blood was fred, his pulses madly leapt
Beneath her careless eye.
II she had known that when he touched her
And felt 1t still and cold
There closed round his wrung heart the iron
band
OF misery untold.
II she had known that when her laughter rang
In scorn of sweet past days
His very soul shook with deadly pRng
Before her light dispraise,
If she had known that every poisoned dart
If she had understood
That each sunk to the depths of his mans 8
heart
And drew the burning blood.
If she had known that when in the wide west
The sun sunk gold and red
He whispered bitterly: "T'is like the rest
The warmth and light have fed"
Ii she had known the longing and the pain
II she had only guessed
One look--one word-and she perhaps had laid
Silent upon his breast,
If she had known how oft when their eyes met
And his so fiercely shone,
But for mans shame and pride they had been
wet
Ali If she had but knownl
If they had known the wastes lost love must
cross
The wastes of unlit lands
If they had known what seas of salt tears toss
Between the barren strands.
Ifthey had known how lost love prays for death
And makes low ceaseless moan
Yet never falls his sad, sweet wearyins breath
Ali if they had only known.

dent and Mrs. Cleveland when they

as women who has had love made
to her in the most approved style,
that can say the President is a
charming lover. He was so gallant
to her and yet SO tender. l used to
watch him pluck flower and hold it
against her fair face as if by compar-
ison. Wasn't that nice? And then
he would give her the gentlest, ten
derest touch under the short ribs and
she would look up to him so conf
dingly-you know how a women can
do that with the man whom she hon.
